The Temagami Light
by Lyle Foster

The summer air,
lingers above your head like a light bulb
of darkness
fresh air
fresh water
unpolluted atmosphere
jumping fish
rainbows in the night sky.
These colors dance,
like a graceful ballerina,
or a person,
peacefully paddling along the shore.
A red canoe saying WABUN,
blends in with the dark,
like a raccoon, with a large mask.
Shoot the rapids,
jump the cliffs,
lift the hard,
heavy wooden box,
sleep on the rocky grounds
with only a piece of plastic filled with air
guarding you.
